A group of French high-school students travel to Naples on a school trip to discover the ruins of Pompeii and the bodies petrified by Vesuvius. There, they are drawn into a dizzying descent. One by one, they are swept up in desire and anger, until they surrender to them completely. Winner of the top prize at this year’s Cannes’ Critics Week, Marine Atlan’s directorial debut is a tour-de-force examination of unrequited desire, remembrance, and self-image for a modern generation where nothing and everything matters all at once.
